Who We Are

  • We are a nature based microschool inspired by Charlotte Mason and Waldorf pedagogy.

  • We utilize multi-age groups, balance individual work with group lessons, and create space for students to work grade-levels ahead or spend extra time on certain concepts.

    Each student can learn at their own pace.

  • We seek to discover our connection to the earth and each other, develop both our unique and collective gifts, reach for the impossible, stand in truth, and transform the world.

The Students

Chickadees

In the tradition of Charlotte Mason, the early years at Growing Roots are spent listening to stories, learning poetry, exploring nature, gaining number sense, experiencing beautiful art, and begining to read.

By developing the habits of attention, imagination, good attitude, self-control, responsibility, quality work, courage, and service, they become established and excited learners.
